The stuff is pretty generic. I've seen it everywhere from Summit to Radio Hack.

 

no you cant find it at these places. like i said, i can find it up to 3/4" easily but the bigger stuff is really hard to find.

Low Glow sells it in 9 colors, and cheap too, http://www.lowglow.com

 

Another place to try would be www.taylorvertex.com .......I'm pretty sure that's the website. It's the same company that makes the Taylor wires.

 

I got a wire loom kit from here http://www.jcwhitney.com/catsubpic.jhtml?CATID=4119
should have every size you need

Be sure to get the high temperature stuff! What you find at parts houses, Radio Shack, even Taylor is low temperature polypropylene or polyethylene. The high temp stuff is made of nylon and is not commonly available. I looked at the Del City site and recommend you get your stuff there. I bought mine at Anaheim Wire Products www.anaheimwire.com. You will have to call them for a quote and inventory. They won't sell less than 100' of any size and you have to watch them on their shipping charges, but their unit prices are a little better than Del City's. They sell the high temp loom (notice the gray stripe, just like from the factory) you need. You can get away with the parts store stuff away from the engine, but anything near the engine will have to be high temp or will melt - guaranteed!

Does any body know where to get the High temp loom but not in big rolls. I am just redoing the engine bay and I need about all the sizes up to an inch. If I had to buy it in 100 ft rolls It would be well over $100
I just need about 10' of each size from 1 inch down

 

I just goto my local "speed shop" (not parts store), and get it. It comes on a spool, and you can buy how much you need.

 

Does your local speed shop have the High temp stuff? Its marked by a grey stripe down one side of it.

 

Yes they do have the high temp stuff. Http://www.ramchargers.com

 

Hey camaro Dude

I called a ramchargers in Taylor and The guy said they dont carry the hight temp stuff. Who do I need to call to get some High Temp stuff from?

 

I bought the same kit from JCWhitney that deadbird did... it actually came with the big 1" stuff along the top of the firewall. But, it's definately not high-temp. I had a piece of harness that came near the exhaust manifold, and it melted onto the wires.

Oh- as long as the stuff's not near the engine, you don't need the high heat stuff... I think that's what you asked next. Stuff like headlight wires and fan motor wires and a/c wires and etc can use normal loom. If you've got stuff curving the engine, normal loom melts.

Been to a junkyard? You could probably get enough for your purpose for 50 cents to a couple of bucks. Might even just give it to you. I'm sure that newer cars use the same stuff, so you could probably pull it out of a relativeley new wrecked car.
